JMBM’s Hotel Lawyers Post 500th Blog
HotelLawyer.com and Hotel Law Blog are resources for hotel owners and lenders
LOS ANGELES — October 8, 2012. Jim Butler, Chairman of the Global Hospitality Group® at Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP (JMBM) announced today that the Group posted its 500th blog on the Hotel Law Blog.
Launched in 2006 for hotel owners, developers, investors and lenders
Jim Butler founded and launched HotelLawBlog in 2006 — the first of its kind to focus solely on hotel law. It was designed particularly for the needs of hotel owners, developers, investors and lenders. Through the blog, JMBM’s hotel lawyers offer legal and business perspectives about trends in the hospitality industry, challenges in hotel operations, and insights on other important industry issues.
“The Hotel Law Blog is a rich source of information for hotel owners, developers, investors and lenders — important stakeholders in the hospitality industry that are frequently at a disadvantage when negotiating with the big hotel brands and their legions of lawyers,” said Jim Butler, Chairman of JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group®. “Information can be a great leveler, and we are pleased to be at the forefront of leveling the playing field for our friends in the industry.”
500 Articles and Key Observations
Readers will find 500 articles on the blog that cover critical issues that keep hoteliers up at night such as helping developers structure their projects to get EB-5 financing, defending owners against the flood of ADA litigation and DOJ investigations, helping owners get great operators and management agreements they can live with, and dealing with unions and labor issues in the current environment.
